James Toback is the prolific but neglected New York film-maker whose 1978 movie Fingers starring Harvey Keitel, is due for a revival, having recently been stunningly remade by Jacques Audiard as the Parisian thriller, The Beat That My Heart Skipped. Meanwhile, here is his latest: a lightweight Manhattan film in the manner of Woody Allen.
Neve Campbell plays a rich young New Yorker with a street-hustler boyfriend who negotiates an Indecent Proposal from a wealthy Italian aristocrat, played by Dominic Chianese (from TV's The Sopranos). It's made fluently, if facetiously, and certainly enables the director to feast his beady cinematic eye on female bodies. Toback has a cameo in which - with surely some ironic self-deprecation - he plays a charlatanish academic keen to "mentor" the lovely young Neve.
